Abstract
Imaging is an emerging contact-less high throughput technology employed to retrieve quantitative and qualitative plant traits. In addition, it is often combined with artificial neural networks (ANNs) to further improve the reliability of image-based digital proxies. The olive oil industry is expanding globally as olive oil is increasingly recognized as a functional food. Fast and reliable determination of fruit quality traits is challenging in the agricultural sector. This study summarizes recent advances in the use of RGB-based imaging combined with ANNs to (i) predict oil and phenol concentrations in olive fruit and (ii) classify fruit at harvest according to colour and defects. Opportunities and limitations are also discussed.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
